MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Audi Q5 (ML54 ABS) between April 2023 and September 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 18 September 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”.
